Rated one of New Zealand's Top 50 Golf Courses it is little wonder that Taumarunui's Tarrangower Golf Course is on the must-do list of keen golfers. Tee off on this well-groomed picturesque course, spend the night at the Forgotten World Motel and set off on a 5 Tunnel Rail Cart journey the next day. A great experience that takes you from carts on the golf course to carts on the Forgotten World Rail.
